Many South Africans, from all walks of life, are plagued by ill health. Many blame this on fast food, fizzy cooldrinks and sweets but often the biggest culprit is everyday staples.
Foods which are commonly known as unhealthy can easily be avoided but staples are a necessity in most households. In order to truly combat poor nutrition we need to find acceptable replacements for maize meal, wheat flour and rice which are just as good in taste and texture but significantly better in nutritional value.
The average South African consumes 100kg of maize and maize-related

products every year.* That may be a huge challenge but it’s an even greater opportunity.
It is clear that what South Africans need is a healthy, banting pap and so HEBA was born. But HEBA is more than just a pap substitute, we are trying to provide a solution and so it has to be relevant to a variety of staples. HEBA can be used to make bread, porridge and krummelpap on stove tops, in ovens and even in microwaves.
Food is culture and identity. Don’t change who you are, just eat right morning ‘til night.

HEBA is made from SUPERFOODS
Made from coconut solids ground
into a fine powder, coconut flour
is a delicious substitute for wheat
flour. It is gluten free and high in
fat (specifically medium chain
triglycerides) which is known to boost
the metabolism and keep you fuller
for longer. Lekker! Coconut flour is
high in fibre yet low in carbohydrates
– which means that it will help you
avoid blood sugar spikes.
These tiny, brown coloured seeds are
high in omega-3 fatty acids and can
improve digestion, decrease skin
irritations, and support fat loss. Best
of all? Flaxseeds are low in carbs
but remain high in fiber – which
helps reduce sugar cravings. Eating
flaxseeds can contribute towards
glowing skin and strong, healthy hair,
reduce acne and eczema. All of this
from a tiny seed? You bet.

These nutty tasting seeds are full
of antioxidants and help to ease
inflammation in the body which
can cause asthma and joint pain.
Sunflower seeds contain bone-
strengthening minerals such as
copper and magnesium (believed to
soothe our nerves, ease headaches
and stress). They are also a good
source of selenium, which is proven
to prevent cancer.
